Pain Relief for Burning Legs with Type 1 Diabetes?

By admin on October 2nd, 2011

my aunt has type one diabetes and she has a burning pain in her legs and cant sleep and she spends a lot of time crying and upset. Anyone with this same condition? what do you do to relieve the pain?
she’s taking 300 mg of gabapentin and it isn’t doing much good for her. She keeps a good check on her blood sugar and everything else. But she can’t fall asleep. Would it be dangerous to offer her Melatonin with the Gabapentin?

Chosen Answer:

Terry , I have the same problem . But first , shame on your aunt’s doctor. Gabapentin can cause suicidal thoughts. And it never does any good.

I take 2 Tramadol at 3PM so I can sleep the night away. If two is not enough then take the two and a half hour later take one more. Yes they aare a opiate , but non addictive. I buy a Thousand at a time . Over the counter. But I am fortunate enough to be able to have moved to Thailand. I buy all my drug over the counter. I have american doctor takes care of me . Cost a visit. Here in Thailand.

Gabapentin is a anti seizure drug. One that works better is Amitriplyline A tri cyclic anti depressant.

Take care

Questions about pain relief when in labour?

By admin on October 1st, 2011

I had my son with no pain relief as i wanted the ‘experience’ of a drug free birth. Now i am pregnant again i was thinking about having a different experience this time around. I was thinking about having an epidural but i think i would hate not being able to get up and walk around to have a shower after baby is born. I have friends who have had gas and the pethidine injection and they say that neither work very well. What pain relief would you recommend and what are your experiences with it

Pain relief from stepping on nail?

By admin on October 1st, 2011

I stepped on nail last night, but I didn’t have any pain walking but this morning I can barely walk on it, is there any pain relief treatments for it?

Chosen Answer:

Keep it elevated. If it appears swollen, ice and ibuprofen may help. Puncture wounds can get infected easily, so try to keep the area as clean as possible. It’s best not to cover it with a bandage, unless that’s the only way to keep it clean. If you can keep it open to the air, that’s best.

If your tetanus shots are not up to date, you need to get one as soon as possible. If the area gets really swollen or starts feeling hot to the touch, see a doctor immediately.

I have a really bad ear infection/ear ache. What a good pain relief remedy?

By admin on October 1st, 2011

Anything that will ease the pain!!!

Chosen Answer:

You can try some paracetamol/acetaminophen, and an anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen.
If it’s just an earache, you can put a few drops of warmed oil in the ear canal, to soothe the tightened eardrum. If it’s an infection, you need to see your doctor ASAP and get antibiotics. You can tell if it is an infection by fever, smell from the affected ear, or discharge from the ear.

Chosen Answer:

Epidural all the way. Get it as early as you can. I would suggest now :)

How can I get relief from pain of losing a loved one?

By admin on September 30th, 2011

Hi, I lost my cat of 17 year today. She was a gentle soul and I love her so very much. It really hurts. How can I ease the pain of losing her?

Chosen Answer:

I’m really sorry about your pet. It really is like losing a child, so give yourself at least a couple of months to come to terms with her passing over into the spiritual plane. Remember happier times, more than sad ones.
